I'm signed in fine, can view "my profile" and post a "new tweet" but when I try to "update now" it displays the message...
Download Error
The account was forbidden to access the twitter service.

I've tried signing out and in again on the HD2 and checked on twitter.com itself to confirm that "HTC Peep" is approved on the "connections" tab.
Any ideas please?
I have an o2 HD2, rom version 1.43.206.4
do you find the answer?
account was forbidden to access the twitter service
I'm also getting the same error.
I can update post and profile but can't do "update now".
Any help is appreciated.
Mine is HD2 ROM v 1.66.707.1 WWE
Kwanice, apologies for the delayed response, have been away from keyboard.
My issue was due to using a (standard UK keyboard) character in my Twitter password that was accepted via Twitter and web browsers but I can only presume not recognised by HD2/Peep.

lol ok
i think i have a problem because i've created a .reg files to insert automaticaly my account name and password...and it's not really good lol
so i need to erase the twitter account to created a new one..:s
thanks
Twitter has stopped using regular http auth and now uses oauth which Peep (htc twitter app) does not support. So... until whoever makes Peep updates it with support for oauth, you need another twitter app... Simple fact.
Is any Twitter app working? I tried moTweets and PockeTwit and doesnt work...
Peep is outdated and useless, HTC failed to update it.
Is anyone else having problems with the phone in general that started today out of no where? I am, my device is bugging out like it hasnt in months and it has all conincided with the HTC Peep failure, its somehow messing up sense to me and that is creating issues as I navigate all apps in Sense.
My phone wont even boot up now, black screen, think I will have to hard reset. I hate this phone and HTC its a comedy of errors.
If I allow the screen to go black, it wont wake up from sleep now. Great.
I am also having the same issue. I'm with T-Mobile and I've been seeing this error all day today
same here, started today
i dont have any other problems

Go to settings/personalize/Home screen tabs and disable the htc peep tab. If you have it set for auto updates it is going to lock up sense anytime it tries.
here's the scoop:

Got the same here (the netherlands) Did nothing out of the ordinary, just pressed "update now" or whatever it is called in English ("nu bijwerken" in dutch). Doesn't it just go away if i wait a bit?
well for my case: I updated my Tilt 2 with the official ROM update released by HTC a day or two back. Sens UI 2.5 obviously. Worked great, tho a bit sluggy. a couple tweaks fixed that. Peep actually worked till just after midnight (think 1, 2 am; from like 8 or 9 pm when i did the ROM Flash) i started it was having less and less sucess updating to the point that i couldn't download (error messages showing) updated once more by miracle and early afternoon (something like 1 pm today) started showing me that precise message:
Download Error
The account was forbidden to access the twitter service.
Hope HTC or Twitter gets on this because PockeTwit has been giving me problems too lately: communication error and now tells me of incorrect credentials or Network unavailable.

Wow, crazy you mentioned this. Starting late last week, Sense UI started goofing up and freezing on me shortly after turning the phone on, even after rebooting. It was driving me nuts the entire day.
I ended signing out of Twitter and concluded the issue was with twitter. I then ended up deleting the "db" and "cache" folders in the My Device > Temp > TwitEng directory.
I was fine the past few days up until today when I started getting the error in this thread. I again had to delete the "db" and "cache" folders as my Sense UI started goofing up again.
I see that Twitter is now using Oauth instead of http which explains the error. I kinda like Peep so hopefully HTC updates...
For now, I'm using Azurea as my Twitter client which seems to be working okay.
Twitter Client Alternative
Well, so far it is evident that the current Peep is no longer useful... We'll have to wait till HTC releases a patch for it.
Till then any other suggestions for twitter clients that work with the Oauths..
MoTweet worked..but TouchTwit fails..
on my samsgung galaxy S everything it´s working fine, but not on my HD2
On my HTC HD2: Peep not working as mentioned. Is there any indication of HTC updating Peep? Or should we switch to an other twitter app entirely? Too bad though, the Twitter home tab looked awesome.
OK, I'm at work and as I'm the Android expert, I pretty much deal with Heros and Moments all day. 7 days a week. So I've compiled a short list of problems that I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out with. I kinda feel bad constantly having to hard reset my customers Heros, even though everything is backed up to google. So, since you guys have delved into the OS and programming, perhaps you have some fixes aside from hard reset (And that won't void the warranty, preferably) for these problems.
1. Picture mail. Customer just gets a download button. When they touch it, either they get downloading........ or download unsuccessful. After suspending/restoring account, deprogramminga nd reprogramming the phone, and switching the phone off the account and back on, I can get about 50% of their picmail to go through, still have to hard reset. Any thoughts on causes of this? Or a fix?
2. Youtube. Using either the browser or the youtube application, the video will not play. Will occasionally play after 4 or 5 tries, but with no consistency. Doesn't seem to happen on every phone. Hard reset does not fix this. It's listed in our known issues, with no fix. I would appreciate any of your advice. I already give my customer the workaround to use a diff browser and d/l in mp4 format, i'd like to know if I can be more help.
3. When attempting to sign into google or access Market, error "A reliable data connection could not be established. Your SIM card may not be provisioned for data. This may be a temporary problem." Etc. Once again, I do all troubleshooting on our side, customer can browse internet and use data based apps, just not contact googles servers. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
That is pretty much it. The only problem I actually cannot fix is the Youtube, other than that a hard reset will take care of it but your average sprint customer has never done a backup and has forgotten the gmail they created when they activated the phone. Thanks in advance for help and if anyone needs any help on my side or info hit me up.
Tell Sprint to get off their ass and roll out the 2.1 update. That fixes every issue you listed as well as others.
Be thankful that some very malicious exploits are still being kept hush hush. Your bosses promised fixes in November when they were shown how to crash any Sprint Android device to the point where a hard reset and a trip to the store is needed to fix it.
Fixes were promised "soon" back in November. It's almost March and I'm about to spill my guts and make things much worse.
I'll help anyone who is honest. Sprint and HTC have spent a ****load of resources on other projects instead of fixing a buggy POS system they took my 500 bucks for. That's not honest.

+1 what he said
Both posts don't actually address his questions, rather your gripes with Sprint and or HTC. Please stay on topic and help if you can.
Gee, that was entirely unhelpful. I am actually trying to help people. I come in on all my off days because no one else here is as comfortable with Android as I am. I am also the top Aircard guy because while most of these guys can fix your Blackberry, they don't know jack about Windows or Mac. So I spend the daylight hours every day trying to help people. I figured since you guys have gotten further into the OS than I ahve you might be able to offer some assistance to your fellow Hero users. Instead, I get an extremely rude message essentially spitting in my face and telling me to piss off because of the company I work for. I honestly had much higher expectations. I've been reading these forums for months and have come to have a high degree of respect for all of you, which is why I decided to start posting. That's really dissapointing. And, for the record, Sprint doesn't write Operating Systems. They just tell the manufacturer what they want (Sprint Nav, Nascar, etc.) and what they wont allow (phone as modem, bluetooth file transfer) and then get the updates whenever they make one. You guys are eagerly awaiting a Sprint 2.1? So is Sprint. I promise you.
And by the way, I realize I'm apparently a horrible person for working to feed my family and all, but I'm an Industrial Electrician, Journeyman. Also A control specialist, fiber optic terminator, and IT tech. The economy crashed, I got laid off from the electrical union cause we had no work, sat on the books for 6 months, and when the union couldnt find me work I came here. Sprint was impressed with my technical abilities (and the fact that someone with my experience/education would be willing to do tech support) and gave me a job. Don't think I'm some evil corporate asshole whos trying to get over on you, cause I'm not. If you don't want to offer your assistance that I think I very respectfully asked for, ok. You aren't hurting me, my Hero works just fine. You're just hurting every other Hero user that calls in needing help.
Oh, and since I can't play with my phone at work (new policy, it bloody sucks, I used to sit here and flash roms and stuff all day from this site) I am just reading the forums and trying to help out. This thread is aptly named for it, so if anyone needs any tech help (as far as not getting sms, mms, calls not coming through, internet down, etc) hit me up in here I'm already giving out tech advice in the picture mail thread. Lol.
How about the texts out of order problem?
I've noticed on mine, it's only when I get texts from other sprint users and it's not every time. Like just now, I sent a text to a friend with sprint, my phone says I sent it at 5:40pm, she replied 2 minutes later, but the time stamp on her text says 5:39pm. I have yet to have this issue with people on other carriers, only people that also use sprint.
Yeah, thats a weird issue. Mine does the same thing. I havent found a fix yet. When using the normal messaging app this causes new txt messages to go to the top of the thread, which is a pain in the ass if you have several hundred txts. Using Handcent keeps that from happening, but the time still comes in wrong. I'm gonna check this out today and see if I can dig something up.

Not true. His questions were answered in the first sentence of my original reply.
All these issues are a direct result of the process that was used to force Android to work with hardware and a system it was not designed for. They are all fixed in later versions of the operating system.
To the OP - I don't hold you responsible for anything Sprint does. But since you identified yourself as someone who does tech support for them, I simply told you the same thing I tell any Sprint employee. Fix your **** and soon. Pass that along please.
Too bad Sprint network and software engineers don't care about the issues enough to seek feedback like you have done. If they did, I would have told them the same thing.

Is the customer using the stock messaging app or Handcent? I notice that if I click the "download" button on the pop-up notification then I never get the picture mail. Close the pop-up notification and open the SMS app of your choice (stock, handcent or other) and the picture mail should be there.
I would think that a hard reset fixes it because it uninstalls the custom messaging app that the customer has installed that is hijacking the download.

I've noticed that many movies don't play on the browser because Youtube tries to launch "Youtube Mobile" and it blocks a lot of videos that would otherwise play in the Youtube app.
It may be an issue with the data connection. Does your store have a WiFi hotspot? If so, try disabling the Sprint Data connection and enable (and associate) the WiFi... then see if it views ok. If so, you may need to reprovision the Vision account or reset the Vision credentials.

I suspect the customer has loaded a custom ROM and is not telling you... but before they came into the store, they restored from nand. There is a known issue with some custom ROMs that will put bad data in your Google account (held on Google's servers). Try creating a new gmail account, do a hard reset, configure the new gmail account as the phone's primary Google account, and see if the market runs. If so... explain to the customer that they have (i believe permanently) screwed up their Google account and they should create a new one. They can still use their old gmail account for mail as a secondary account but as far as Market and all the other Google apps on the phone, they should use the new one. Also advise them to check with the ROM manufacturer before they load custom ROMs.
For example, MoDaCo doesn't have this problem but some of the earlier (and possibly the current) Fresh ROMs caused this problem.

Is there really such a serious exploit? Maybe its time Engadget and the other big guys in the tech press know about it and its specifics. Could be one hell of a bargaining chip to force an early release of 2.1

This doesn't seem to be totally accurate since in my case I've been using Fresh roms since the first release and have never had any market related issues. To me this would imply there's a bit more going with that. Just thought that this should be noted.

Again??? this is your first post in this thread... and if you have to start out by saying that you're not trying to be a jerk, then you probably are. It's kinda like saying "all due respect" when you have no intention of showing respect.
If you search this forum you'll find the evidence to my statements. I've been using MoDaCo's ROM and have seen numerous people that switched from Fresh and can't get the the market to work. I'm not any way devaluing the Fresh ROM or their work. I'm simply saying that there was a setting in a file (I can't remember what file exactly - you'd have to search that answer out yourself) that messed up the market for a bunch of people. This may have been an isolated issue to one version of Fresh (hence when I said "some"). If you weren't affected then you're a lucky one, but that doesn't mean that other people aren't affected. Also, my thread was informational to show that this guy's customers may have loaded a custom ROM... The ROM could have been from Fresh or anybody else (or even customized by his customers themselves).

I have had this issue with two Heros with and without third party msg apps. Also the first thing I do in setting up my msg apps is to disable the popup notificacion (just bugs me) and I have had the same thing happen. In fact I've had my msg app (whether it be stock, CHOMP, or Handcent) open and waiting for test mms msgs I sent to myself and still experienced the same problem.

Lol. Thought I edited the post. To early in the morning I guess. My point was simply that what you stated isnt necessarily true in all cases, specifically mine. And so to me this would be evidence the rom is not the issue and that there may be more to it. Thats all I was saying. Didnt mean to offend.
The only time i have heard that a Fresh ROM messed up the market was Fresh 2.1. Its just an AOSP rom and it was known for messing up the market but a fix was posted.
I just lost a lot of respect for you gbhil. What are you going to do next? Threaten the class president to try and get Obama to sign a bill?
LOL. Yeah, I'm really just gonna call up the CEO and the development department...everyone in tech support has their number....
Oh, and in response to the latest posts.....Aside from the youtube issue, a hard reset takes care of all the issue I listed. I thought I mentioned that. So that rules out the phone being permanently screwed up by bad roms. Plus, I assure you, the people that call in with these issues don't even know how to get into the phones settings, and it takes them about 10 minutes to type their google username and password. And the "cannot establish a reliable data connection" issue with google and android market isnt just the market. It happens when they try to sign into Google, sometimes when they just bought the phone and are doing it during the activation process. It also happens on the Samsung moment, so I think its safe to say it isn't a rom flashing issue. And the picmail happened on my hero before I even rooted it, and occurs on the stock app and handcent. When they call in with it happenning on stock messaging app, I have them download handcent as part of troubleshooting. As I said, after all troubleshooting is done, they maybe get half their MMS.

Do you actually work for Sprint? or are you reselling their services?
Sprint recommends that you do not even TRY to use data until 4 hours after activating the phone. It takes some time for the account to properly provision through all their systems and if you attempt to use data before the account has provisioned completely then it screws up the vision profile to the point where you MUST call Sprint and have them fix it (i.e. nothing you can do to fix it).
I ask if you work for Sprint because if you do, you'd know that and wouldn't have people trying to connect to Google right away.
Now, I know that people are going to say that this is part of the setup process for the Hero (enter your account information), and that they did it out of the box with no problem, and the Sprint reps set the phone up for them in the store, and Best Buy will set the phone up for you and they don't have problems, and a whole bunch of "it didn't cause problems for me"... but that doesn't change the fact that Sprint says quite clearly "do not try to use the vision data until 4 hours after activating the account".
So... if you're having data problems, and you don't want to use my suggestion from before to reset the Vision Profile, then call Sprint and have them do their magic little fix.
Hi. I'm having very big issues with my new myTouch 4G.
This whole downloading of widgets worked for me couple of times since I bought this phone. I was able to download some widget for my gMail, called "Gmail 2.3", "Facebook", "Stopwatch", and many other ones. The way that I would download them was: I would long press on any empty portion of any screen/tab or even go a totally empty tab, after I would get a little menu with choice of out of four (4) items -"Shortcuts", "Widgets", "Folder", and "Wallpaper" and all four (4) items have a little arrow down - button (to select it). Since I would want to install some widget on my screen, I tap arrow-down next to "Widgets". It brings me up all available widgets that are already preinstalled on my device (T-Mo or HTC puts them there), if you don't find a widget which you need, out of preinstalled ones (and most likely you won't because there are 30 of them there TOPS), you can press on "Get more widgets" (in the list along other 4 choices) and it allows you to do a word search/title for a widget that you want. BUT for me - it doesn't open up that search box, anymore. Instead it says in white letters "Unable to download widgets. Tap to try again.” Now when I call T-Mo they don't understand what is it that I want to do. They tell me, how you can ONLY use widgets that are pre-installed on the device, and it never allows you to download any more. I had this issue once before, and I got scared so I exchanged my device. I just bought it back then; only 6 days had passed, so I was still able to return/exchange it. I was within the return/exchange period back then, but not now. And the problem is back
Do I need to install some update somehow? Or what do I do?? If YES for the update, then how??
Thank You All! For your help!
Mine does it too... AFAIK HTC is having some speedbumps with this phones launch, but they should be ironed out relatively soon...
Plus we just got full root... one of the devs will prolly come up with some sort of fix (assuming its a problem on the handset vs their server)

New Widget Download
Hi. I'm having very big issues with my new myTouch 4G.
This whole downloading of widgets worked for me couple of times since I bought this phone. I was able to download some widgets for my GMail, called "Gmail 2.3", also "Facebook Android", "Stopwatch 2.3", and many other ones (games as well). The way that I would download them is: I would long press on any empty portion of any screen/tab or even go a totally empty tab, after I would get a little menu with choice of out of four (4) items -"Shortcuts", "Widgets", "Folder", and "Wallpaper" and all four (4) items have a little arrow down - button (to select it).

Do I need to install some update somehow? Or what do I do?? If YES for the update, then how do I install one?? This has to be some issue on T-Mo's side, because this is another phone already.

Anybody else BUT me has the same problem?? Can anybody add any widget they would like?????? Come On People. Am I alone with this problem???
That 'download more widgets' message is an HTC add-in. From what I've experienced, they usually create a portal to allow users to download new widgets for their HTC Sense skinned phones. However, it appears that this portal is either not created yet, or is not functioning.
You need to use the market and search for 'widgets'. Then they'll show up in your widget list.
Market is for widgets and apps, 'download more widgets' is for HTC sense widgets.

I want to be able to search for more available widgets. It worked for me when the phone was first released. I bought it 2 hours after it hit my local T-Mo stores. Facebook notified me.
The down-arrow on my Evo still works. brings up a lot more HTC widgets, so we know their portal is working!

Hello guys, I just noticed that https://www.htcsense.com has a new look after login. What do you think, is it going to be fully functional until the end of the year 2012?
Just checked www.htcsense.com and i found that It Works. See attached pictures.
Whoaaaa...I didn't even know this page existed.....just tapping my login details and gonna check it out.....
thanks

I knew about it from the first day i bought my DHD but it didn't work like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VDQvvN0rmc. They changed the look now but are missing some buttons.

They still haven't fixed it!!!??? What a waste of time for them and us!
F*** me, if they haven't done it by now they never will...
This was always the screen from i could remember, there was a fully working site last October 2010. but since then this is the site i always see!!!
i dun think so...
Update
I updated first post with new pictures.
This was one of the things that led me to getting a DHD in Oct 2010 with the UK release - it worked for about a week - then never again and I cant see HTC ever getting the full functionality back.
TBH I'd forgotten all about the site!! I'll have a look in and see though.
ok this is what I get..

Where has locations, messages etc gone!! It still can't do the basics like locate my phone, even though I have a GPS lock and 3g at full strength?? (Lookout found my phone in under 20 secs and was bang on with the location)
Well done HTC...FAIL!
It did and does work. Yes I did have issues with it but deleting your account on your phone and then setting it back up again sorted it out.
To take full advantage of it though background data and auto sync must be enabled. This is my problem with it as we all know what having them on does to your battery.
Edit: one other thing, update schedule should be set to "as items change (push)"
I had a webchat with HTC support this morning and they say that HTC Sense has been shut down until further notice.

I stand corrected. It is indeed. It was up until recently.

Well as far as I can tell its still "up", but it doesnt bloody work...
Ok guys, look what hapened. Two weeks ago my sense account from phone started to bother me with a password request because somehow it saw that my sense account pass was changed(i didn't do anything). I contacted a operator from HTC on live chat and sayed what was hapened. He told me that they do meintenance to servers and in 3 weeks I will have a completly working sense account on web. Looks that passed 2 weeks and some changes appeared. I have the same issue with communication between web and phone (no comunication), but seems that from just a dashboard menu i have another ones visible. Let's wait another week and see if they keep their promise.
